Be a Successful Veteran Business Owner

Patriotic Hearts primarily helps US veterans to do 2 things: Either to find a good job; or, to be a successful veteran business owner. We have united both of these efforts into one solution. We have started over 45 veterans into business in the last 4 years. And they are now employing veterans all across America at good wages.

We hold veterans’ recruiting events for companies that want to employ them, and have a veterans only job board: HirePatriots.com for those veterans that prefer being employees.

For US veterans that would prefer to own their own business, and to employ and work alongside other US veterans, we have created US Military Maintenance for them.

US Military Maintenance is not a franchise. We put veterans into independent business ownership. You will have the support of other USMM owners across the country. I have been creating successful business owners for 47 years. I will personally mentor you, step by step.

We will provide all of the equipment you need to start making money, a personal USMM website, training on how to get accounts, your sales pitch, your letter of introduction, marketing material, business plan, logos, graphics, certifications, Google ad words, … It takes 10 days to ship all of your equipment and to complete your website. You can start making money immediately after that. — We have several new owners for you to follow in their footsteps. For the first few months new USMM owners are averaging $10K a month. Then, once they have learned the ropes, you can also be mentored by those that are making $25K, $50K, and $100K a month.

Any veteran that follows our Steps to Success will indeed succeed. This is not rocket science. But it is a real business that needs to be managed well. If in your rank in the military you were in charge of a squad, platoon, or battalion then you already have what it takes. — Just like in your job in the military, follow the instituted procedures and all will be well. Our method for making you successful works, right out of the gate.

If you follow our plan, you will make a lot of money in this business. In return for showing you how, we ask for one thing in return: to employ as many work-ready US veterans as you can at good wages. (Of course, you can hire friends and family members too.) — Many of our workers get paid $25 an hour+. New workers start with a wage at least twice of that state’s minimum wage. — We want to honor our veterans and pay them a livable wage.

As the founder/ owner/ CEO you will earn many times more than any of your employees. Our expectations is that each owner will make between $70K and $150K in their first year. (This depends on if they keep their full time job, or jump in full time themselves.) — By the time you reach your third year our owners are making $50K to $100K a month.

Here are some links for you to listen to our USMM owners talk about their businesses and successes.

Hello, I'm Mark Baird and I founded Hire Patriots. My wife and I are 'helpers.' We are concerned about meeting the practical needs of our US veterans veterans and their families. We began a job board for local residents to post chores that they need help with. It has been very successful. Thousands of local US Military and veterans partially or entirely support themselves from our website. We are looking for others near US Military bases who would also like to have a HirePatriots.com website for their location. Find more information about our military programs at PatrioticHearts.org. And please make a contribution of any kind. Thank you.

Patriotic Hearts' mission is to create effective economic stability and enhancement programs that assists U.S. Military, veterans and their families and aids their return to the civilian sector as healthy, successful and important contributors to the American way of life; and, to educate the US citizenry about their valiant sacrifices and value to our nation.

Our Programs

Job Fairs

HirePatriots has hosted many job fairs for the U.S. military and veterans. HirePatriots has a stellar reputation with businesses across America and the world. And of course, we are highly regarded by the U.S. military.

Veteran Entrepreneur Mentoring

HirePatriots vigorously seeks to support veterans who have chosen to start their own businesses. We believe that this is crucial to the rebuilding of the American economy and to employing more of our transitioned U.S. military. HirePatriots has created a valuable training and support program for U.S Veteran entrepreneurs. We use the combined business acumen of our multiple HirePatriots’ business leaders to provide step-by-step hands on business development training.

Military Marriage Enrichment Retreats

Our military’s emotional and psychological health, as well as their professionalism is largely dependent upon the health of their relationships with their immediate family members. The divorce rate has risen as high as 90% on bases with frequent combat deployments. Military wives call it "The Plague."

Patriotic Hearts hosts military marriage enrichment retreats to strengthen military and veterans’ marriages. The theme of our retreats is "Love and Respect." They last from Friday night until Sunday afternoon. We continue to follow each couple closely after the retreats. And we have had wonderful success in keeping marriages and families united. These are all-expenses paid retreats.

Financial Wellness

Patriotic Hearts provides training on how to manage personal and family income, through seminars, retreats and online. This is a unique and comprehensive 5 point Financial Wellness series of workshop courses that has been specifically designed for veterans, active duty, and military families. It is a customized, financial wellness curriculum that focuses on helping our heroes and their families understand their particular spending personalities. Then we teach the essentials of money management. And we also explain the necessity for multiple streams of income and investment strategies.

Career & Personal Counseling

Many qualified volunteers offer to give professional counseling to US veterans’ career search. And marriage counselors, PTSD experts and licensed psychologists also donate their time and services.

School Kids Program

A wonderful result of our increasing popularity has been that public schools are adopting Patriotic Hearts and HirePatriots as a community service project. These schools receive their own HirePatriots.com website, and the students fill it with their patriotic efforts, essays, videos and pictures. We are also writing a curriculum and a book to promote this program and make it a perpetual part of our American fabric.

Educational Endeavors

In the last 50 years the American population has gone from 90% of American males being US military veterans to less than 1% of our current generation. And further reductions in our nation’s Armed Forces are being planned. There now exists a tremendous vacuum of understanding and appreciation for the important role veterans and their families play in keeping America a safe haven for democracy and freedom. In response, Patriotic Hearts trains patriotic citizens to speak and seeks out opportunities on TV, radio, in the press, and at community events, associations, clubs and schools for them teach about US veterans’ sacrifices and critical role in preserving our way of life.

Veterans Green Program

In order to raise funds for our Patriotic Hearts programs we are asking companies to donate their e-waste to us. Those companies will receive a certificate of donation from our non-profit. We will hire US veterans to pick up and recycle their waste. And we will be able to fund the vital programs we provide with that assistance.
